Welcome to Our Flat

Our apartment is finally mostly put together, so its time to for a virtual tour. Don’t worry, I just vacuumed.

When you walk in the front door, you will set into our living room with the kitchenette in the back under the stairs. The futon and coffee table came with us from the US and I’m pretty glad they did. Because of our space, the lift-up top on the coffee table allows it to double as a dining table when its just to two of us.

Behind the futon is our kitchenette. We’ve added a combination microwave/oven and a bar level counter top. We also purchased a flap table for when we have guests.

In the kitchen we also have our Societe Ceramaique plates hanging on the wall. Societe Ceramique was located in Maastricht and made decorative and practical earthenware from 1836-1969. The plates depict important buildings in Maastricht, Amsterdam, and Delft.

Turning around you’ll see our new television, HD of course. There is a Girl Genius print hanging over the TV right now, but we’d like to find a large piece of art for that space. We also have some original Evil Inc art, but I need to mat it before it can be photographed.

Along the right wall of the living room you’ll find our office (still mostly under construction) and the bathroom.

Up the stairs you’ll see our bedroom has already been taken over by the cats. We’re using some of the eve space for storage, but mostly we’re just sleeping up here. Hopefully we’ll get some blinds on the windows soon since it can be a little bright for sleeping.

Also on the stairs, we’ve hung up a Girls with Slingshots sketch.

Finally, back at the front door you can step out onto our balcony. Its fairly spacious and the view is very nice.

And that’s about it. After all the hard work that’s gone into our apartment, I’m very happy to be able to share these pictures with you. I’d love to hear your comments and questions.

Thanks for stopping by!
